Over 40 years later the Province has grown to 25 members and our ministries are varied according to the needs of the area in which we serve. The Blood of Christ continues to bring life to the People of God, the Church, through the members of the CPPS.

PAROCHIAL MINISTRYOur members serve as pastors, associate pastors, religious educators and in a variety of other parish ministries. They serve in rural, urban, suburban and inner-city parishes, always seeking to announce the good news to God's people.

EDUCATIONAL MINISTRIESOur members serve as high school teachers and theological instructors.

FOREIGN MISSIONSMembers of the Atlantic Province serve in Mexico and Tanzania. Both missionaries from Canada and members of the community from those countries share in the mission of the community.

CHAPLAINSSome members serve as chaplains in hospitals, retirement centres and high school

Regardless of the type of ministry that a member offers the Church, it is common bond, the Bond of Charity, which brings the members of the Congregation together. Each offers his talents and abilities, in the service to the apostolate of bringing the 'life of blood' of Jesus to the needy world. The commitment that each member makes to the Society is shared with a like-minded group of individuals who share in a vision of life and hope. The members of the Congregation have pledged their lives in service to the mystery of the life giving force of the Blood of Christ.

'Charity does not lie down inactively, it is a flame that never lies still…'St. Gaspar, 1813
